Sabina explains her personal style:

"I love clothes.I like to change my style often,'cos I get bored.At the momentI like to shop at Apparal in St George's Walk.It has smart casual clothes with a name on it basically.If you got Giorgio Armani name on your jeans,you're bad."

"I used to spend a lot of money on my clothes,but now I need more for socialising.I go to a lot of nightclubs, house parties etcetera.I go to all-night snooker in Thornton Heath,or go for loafs in cars, with my friendsdrive round in cars all night up to London, Gatwick Airport."

"How I dress depends on where I'm going.The last party I went toI wore a red dress with red lace leggings.I got bored with my hairbecause the typical Asian look is the long black hair,and I went to Toni & Guy hairdressers and had it all chopped off.My mother did have a fit!"

Sabina would shop for clothes in Croydon.She liked Choice in Surrey Street Marketand JD Sports in North End.For more variety Sabina would go into central London,Petticoat Lane, Dalston or the West End.
